there is a bug with the fish loot when the "looting this item will bind it to you" comes up dont shift click the bobber or it will cancel the looting box. in meaning you cant catch any of the 3 rare fish because of it or it cancels and will go away make sure you dont hold shift for the quick loot system!

Got these boots on my twinks, got them on my third run, guild run fishing in STV

Watch out for the mobs since you agro verry easily in Stranglethorn, Been fishing since then (7 months ago) and still no sign for that hat (Which i wanted all along :O...And the Naga seem to hate me since i get chased by them anytime i fish *cry*)

Its just luck really, friend got 6 hats and 4 sets of boots within 2 months..

As a few other people have said... You can get Burning Crusade enchants (12 agility, 12 stamina, Boar's Speed, Cat's Swiftness etc)

The trick is with twinks fishing in Stranglethorn..If you go down the coast to near the Cold Eye Basilisks...There is an island that has 2 spots on it and there are no mobs (Whoever can give me the co-ords for that island that has no mobs on it thats near Grom'Gol deserves a cookie :P)

No one cares, really.

I got 2s ?c per turn in of 5 fish for my 19 rogue. Finally got the striped racer and then the angelfish five minutes later today. So now have the hat and the boots on my twink rogue. =) Now just got to get the enchants.

I got my man to escort me on his 70 rogue, gotta love having people in WoW that you can abuse. ;)

Comment by Rarehunter

Since every class can wear cloth, these are the best boots of the 10-19 bracket for ANY twink. Oh, and say helloooo to TBC enchants like Boar's Speed (+9 stam and minor speed increase)

Comment by Thoaee

This item is part of the Stranglethorn Vale Fishing Competition. Which takes place every Sunday between 14:00 and 16:00 Server time.

Once someone has won the fishing competition, you can still hand in your remaining Speckled Tastyfish to Jang in Bootybay. (repeatable quest)

Here is a link to all the rare fish that can be caught during the Stranglethorn Vale Fishing Competition and their drop chance (with thanks to Zubzubs's post on the Lucky Fishing Hat), plus the rewards you get when catching one and handing them in at the Fishbot 5000 in Bootybay

This is an excellent twink item. Although it is a quest item and BOP. Note: to complete the quest, you have to be able to travel to Stranglethorn Vale, and you have to have AT LEAST, 130 fishing to cast your fishing pole in Stranglethorn Vale.You also have to participate in some contest in STV on every sunday. In the contest, the winner is the one that catches 40 fish first. YOU DO NOT have to win the contest to complete the quest, you just have to get the rare fish you need for completion of the quest. And, to twinks beware of getting attacked by the giant beasts in STV. IF you get attacked by one and you attack it back (tagging it), and then another player kills it for you, you get EXPERIENCE, i found that out the hard way :(. Let's just say, I am level twenty now. Anyway, GOOD LUCK! See you in Warsong! ^ ^

Captain Rumsey's Lager - +10 Fishing (The recipe is a reward from the Daily Fishing Quests)

And ofc 375 Fishing Skill

A Weather-Beaten Journal also helps alot when fishing :)

Hope this helps..

Good Luck Fishing Everyone :D

Comment by Syykke

The drop rate on thottbot for fishing these is lowered because you can only get them on sundays.

Comment by SvedigeAage

If you are making a rogue twink i suggest you should try gettin' these ones.They can get TBC enchants and are a 100 g cheaper than Feet of the Lynx. (8 Agility 3 Strength)Alot of twinks still chooses Feet of the Lynx unfortunately.

Comment by valer10

fished for 7 weeks and never dropped, i was about to give up, but last sunday i went in stv at 10 mins from the end of the contest and after 3 pools i got mine, finally :) good luck!

Comment by Blackmarket

took me like 15 sundays to get mine, thats 30 hours of fishing but its definatly worth it also got 3 lucky fishing hats in that time too =D

Comment by kuttekop

you get exp when you give the fishes?

Comment by Xtremwarrior

i came to stv looking for the leet headpiece and got both the feet item and the fishing item. i threw cats swiftness on the feet and have been trying for the head for a very long time. i guess its just bad luck i got the other 2 first but the feet with cats swiftness on them is amazing. 6 agil 12 stam and minor speed :P

Comment by coolzo

Why was this downrated? It's true, just get on the PTR and see for yourself.

Comment by MMAdominate

I hate Blizz. took my boots from my 19 twink...WTF! Another anti QQ move by Blizz for all the retards that BG at lvl 10-19 that should be out LvLing.

Comment by 1everlasting1

No.. they cannot. the comment was accurate once, but currently u need lvl 35 to get these.

NERFED! thanks alot blizz... the non xp BG's proved that twinks were a seriously small population despite all the QQing about them and these boots along with other items were ALOT of work to get. I say if you are willing to put in the kind of time it takes to make an exceptional toon, then you should get the reward of exceptional pwnage with that toon in pvp.

Personally i like "bully bait" lvl 10 twinks. Used for killing enemies 5-15 lvls higher than you, who were expecting to bully a lowbie, but now are getting camped on their lvl 21 by a twinked lvl 10. Its pretty dam funny and the perfect revenge on all those QQ'rs who used to say that everyone who beat them in bg was a 9's twink killing lowbies.... well... go ahead and %^&*! about the lowbie killing you now, ha ha! (it wasn't the twink man, You just never had any skills, face it)

downgrade this comment at will. I expect it from twink haters anyhow :P and if you have been the unfortunate victim of one of my lvl 10 bully killers, don't QQ about twinking, cause you were trying to kill a 10 on your 15-25... YOU'RE the bad guy not me.

Comment by PunkShifter

Actually I believe it has a lot more to do with...

"A new Battleground will not launch until the maximum number of players on each side are in the queue (i.e. 40 players per side for Alterac Valley)."

This "feature" has meant that most of us are sitting around for hours waiting for our battlegrounds, with the exception of a couple of hours around peak times for some lucky servers with higher twink populations. With world PVP basically being non-existent in the current game environment compared to pre-WotLK and pre-TBC days, it makes the game boring. Add to this all of the nerfs to gear and enchants for twinks (casters were hit the hardest by losing any survivability from rogues/hunters), a lot of the twink population didn't just stop twinking...they quit the game all together. The Battleground Matchmaking System that pairs players up against similarly geared opponents is by far better than separating twink fans altogether.

I can remove EITHER the boots or the hat and stay at +40. I can remove the gloves with the glove enchant and stay at +40.

So, since most fishers will have a fishing pole with a much higher bonus than +5, most people can toss their gloves with the Anglers enchant.

The lure still works with your hat, so you probably want to keep it. But some fishers will no longer need to wear these boots with +5 fishing skill.

If you instead acquire a pair of Boots of the Bay, you have a dilemma about which to keep. You'll probably want to dump the hat, use manual lures, and use the new boots.

But, regardless, these boots just became a bit more useless -- you only need them if you don't yet have the Weather-Beaten hat.

Comment by DarkSkyfire

Sadly it seems my hard won boots no longer stack with the weather beaten fishing hat. I see that others were having this issue as well back in 5.04, but it seems as though others were not experiencing it at all. The most I can get currently is 1010 fishing.
